Q: Peter,
In praise (at last) of a very strait forward comment of their dismal drop of share price, Gold canyon says this: ....Management has recently engaged in significant consultation with Gold Canyon shareholders, investment brokers, analysts, institutional traders and investment bankers regarding potential contributing factors to the Company's share price weakness and large trading volumes and believes the following may be attributed, at least in part, to the recent downward pressure and larger trading volumes in the market for Gold Canyon shares:

Market participants have indicated that, due to investor fatigue with the mining sector, both retail and institutional, and prolonged mining sector weakness, resource money managers are experiencing higher than normal redemption challenges in their funds and managed accounts, causing them to sell shares to raise the cash needed to make redemption payments. With respect to Gold Canyon's shares in particular, the continued recent demand has resulted in bids to buy at reasonable valuation levels, providing the sellers with better liquidity than is the case with many other mining issuers, and indeed than had historically been the case with Gold Canyon until very recently.
Gold Canyon had historically issued a large number of "flow-through" common shares which, because of the associated tax treatment in Canada for qualified flow-through mining expenditures undertaken by the Company, carry a much lower cost base than regular shares. The lower cost base allows resource money managers to sell these shares at prices that, despite declining market prices generally, are still profitable, providing more attractive optics than selling at a loss....

Now,long after 5i research confirmed the dangers of convertible debentures, one company is doing the same with Flow Through. A rare public press release indeed (and also totally self serving of course but why not).
What do you think? And where does that leave the value of the company stock (I do not own it)
PUBLISH ONLY if you think it is worth it for your subscriber's community

Q: Further to the recent question regarding SU and VET (going from the former to the latter), should the same question be put to you with respect to CNQ and COS versus VET, would you still recommend transferring to VET ? For the same reasons ? Comparatively of course, CNQ and COS are also cheaper, and COS provides a good dividend. Both CNQ and COS face the 'oil sands' issues, but COS gets a much better price for its synthetic oil.

Q: Is investing in stocks such as NTI and ALDW(there is also CVRR and CLMT) which are MLP (Master limited partnership, with more than juicy income returns, akin to speculation ? Seemingly, according to some, so long as Canadian crude face the current differentials to WTI (to the great benefit of these companies and their refineries), the juicy returns will be there. Also, these MLP are complicated to deal with taxwise. Is this true, and is it all speculation ?

Q: Hi Peter and team, I am wondering if you had any suggestions for quality companies that are producers of specialty alloys used in steel making. I understand the most common metals used are manganese, nickel, chromium and molybdenum. This would be a long term trade. Thanks in advance, Kevin
